We're living in uncertain times during the COVID-19 outbreak, but Ohio is gonna get through it together – and have some fun along the way.
Sports are still on hiatus, but friendly competition still thrives, as evidenced by Ohio State punters Drue Chrisman and Michael O'Shaughnessy.
This week, the pair of Buckeye ball booters emerged as the best trickshot specialists in the football program and battled it out for the top spot, after a 50/50 split vote in the championship round.
It's an all-punter showdown for the #BuckeyeTrickShots championship

It looks like Chrisman's going to win, but O'Shaughnessy's versatility should absolutely earn him some points here. He worked in some football, basketball, golf, lacrosse, soccer and even piano. I'm not as good at one of those things as he is at all of them.

No word on if there were individuals on top of the bed, but if he's got any small children in the house, that's sure to be a hell of a source of entertainment. Perhaps this gives the more herculean folks among us some ideas.

Zoom Surprise
John Krasinski (possibly better known as Jim Halpert from The Office) stepped up to the plate to provide us all with Some Good News, and in this week's episode he pulled out an enormous surprise for a girl who was heartbroken that her chance to see Hamilton got canceled.
It wasn't just a gift to her, it was a gift to all of us, because that was fantastic.
